Big, Bright & Beautiful!
Is it summer yet where you live? In Oregon we always say if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes. Today we've had gray skies, rain, clouds & now sun. The flowers are in full bloom & that's what I chose to use for my summer card to enter the Stampendous! June challenge HERE. This is from the Tropical Garden set. I white embossed it, distressed with peacock feathers, shaded lilac & squeezed lemonade & then spritzed (got a little heavy handed--LOL!) with Shimmer Spritz frost. I added Stickles to the stamen & then cut the image into 4 squares when it was dry & mounted them with foam tape. The fancy corners are Spellbinders Parisian Motifs die cut from white shimmer cardstock. Hopefully the sun will last, since I'm off tomorrow & we're heading for the lake. Thanks for coming by--I appreciate all of you.

ReplyDeleteHi, Greta! Yes, this IS "Big, Bright, & Beautiful"! It reminds me of a beautiful tile on a restaurant wall. Love what you've done. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou asked the question, "Is it summer yet where you live?"
OH MY, is it EVER! Our high temperature today was 109.
Is that summer enough!!??
I love your line, "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes."
Unfortunately, we have to wait until October, before we will like our weather, again. Could you send us some of your "weather"? :-)
Have a wonderful week!
Don't ya just love these pretty colors?! They look amazing all blended together, Greta - beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours and love that splash of yellow in the middle, Greta! Love the look of the four panels with the corners too!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteGreta-I just had to pick my jaw up from the ground!!!! This is STUNNING!!!!!!! Have a wonderful time on your boat-we went out with friends on their boat last week and had such a relaxing time:). And yes- summer has been here in the Northeast although temps for the past few days have been a bit cooler (70's instead of 90's). Supposed to get in the high 80's tomorrow.
